I folks - I think I'm back. I've been gone from Craftster and crafting and this board for a while. Just didn't have my crafty mojo going on after Dad's death. *sigh* But I think I'm back. I have 8 projects going on that need to get finished for various people and reasons. And I joined the Magic Yarn Ball swap. So another reason to get my crafty mojo goin again.

I spent the day with my mom quilting. I have two quilt tops to quilt and we finished one. I just need to put the binding on. Hoping to get back there on Monday to finish the second. These are from my twins room remodel and this is one of the finishing touches

My first attempts at styrofoam print making, we have a couple dozen foam takeout trays we got for sending leftovers home.I am still learning the tricks like finer lines and to use a firm foam roller instead of a foam brush to put on paint

Trina - neat printing experiments! I can't wait to see what you make with it.

I finished a little Harry Potter wallet which I think turned out cute.

And I finally sat down and made necklaces for all the random pendants I've been collecting over the last year or so. Question for the jewelry people out there - I love using the round black leather (?) cording for necklaces, but as you can see in the farthest left necklace, sometimes it has kinks that I'm having a hard time getting out so that it hangs straight - any tips??

I finally finished up some flower hair clips for my cousin's soon-to-be baby. Her baby shower was this weekend. I didn't get much else made for, but I did get flower clips! She isn't due until July, so I still have lots of time to make stuff and mail it over to her.

Each are on like a little alligator type clip covered in ribbon to be soft on baby's hair.
